Pitos pequeños en sandwiches & STILL hunting for the damn eggs - TTC Bus 37

[Minster2012]

Bing Bing the BFP bus is back!

Last bus we got some great results and now it’s a REAL Easter 🐣hunt so let’s make like 🐰s and jump on the 🍆

Oh but we’ve packed up the 🥪🌭🌮Cos we can do that soon! A picnic, and in our sandwiches we’ve got some weird things...little 🍆conchions, pickles, crisps, KETCHUP?? Say what?? Whatever you want in your bread bring it to the bus!

March and April we’ve got a lot of exciting times ahead with people going for Clomid & IVF as well as a lot of straight up sex for the “normal” TTC gang so let’s get shagging & FIND THOSE 🐣🌈.

Hop on the bus, give us your best embarrassing story and grab a ticket, we are TTC in very weird ways and usually talking about most other things 🍞🥨🥞🍔

And we are still helping each other get fitter, more positive through sharing small changes we are making in our lives and trying to inspire & support each other with these too...as well as of course being there for each other during the sad times.

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

Let’s go go go!

Omg @paintfairy you sound like my long lost twin lol! We are pretty much the same!! Dd actually asked to have a sleepover at nanny's so she's there now for the night so I'm cooking dinner and then hopefully me and OH will share a bath and then spend some time together ❤ I think we defo need it! I'm just useless at being spontaneous lol xx

@bez91 omg that literally just made me cry with laughter!! Maybe il try velcro instead 🤣 haha! That poor woman though! I can't imagine the embarrassment of going to A&E like that. Had my bloods done and the nurse said the prolactin test is urgent and the gyne nurse wants the results back within 24hours... 😬 not quite sure why that's urgent? But maybe she will call me when the results come in? Does it mean If there's something wrong it can be dealt with before the other results are back? Confused.com as to why its urgent. Zx

@Vil10 ahhh thanks lovely! Yeah it's alot more chilled up here aye, just go with the flow 😜 no pun intended haha! Xx

@Haiyaaa hahahaha!! Yeah but OH still says I'm boring in the bedroom; I say he gets more than most men...but I think its because of the whole swallow thing... I just can't bring myself to do it lol but ohh god yeah that would literally drive me to the big O and I don't mean ovulation 😜🤣 xx

@Somatronic ahhh thats great news!! I have pcos too and I do ovulate, but every like 119-132 days 🤦‍♀️ how about you? I'm waiting for bloods to come back but yours sound really good you must be really chuffed xx

@hopeful110 thanks yes I'm thrilled. Mine are between 28-31 days so I'm lucky that way. It must be so frustrating and confusing having very long cycles.

I have 2 thyroid diseases so the fact that my thyroid decided to not be an asshole for once is like a miracle. I'm delighted with myself

@Somatronic ahhh thats so great, I'd love to have a more regular cycle haha! Although to be fair i don't miss AF visiting regularly lol! But yay! now time for a glass of wine to celebrate your body behaving and playing ball!! Xx

@Franklydear it's all on you now I'm out after a very white FRER this morning.

Feeling fed up with the doctors too as the receptionist didn't book me with my doctor for my blood and smear results when I called today and instead just told me "oh I can see the blood test results are normal". I mean normal what... what did they even test for? Just progesterone? Who knows 😑

Home everyone has a good weekend!

@2020mission were doomed!
Finished work for the week, so gonna chill, DH has a busy day tomorrow, so it's home day for me and ds, I predict pizza for lunch, margarita only for ds, and I didn't see olives in any of your pizzas, you can't have pizza without olives....

@Dollybird89 can I try one please?
@Hopeful110 that sounds excellent! I definitely need some 🍆 tonight! 🤣

@paintfairy send me your email xx thats the last one 😊 (oh workmate snagged one lol)

God I feel depraved of 🍆 not had none for over 3 weeks now! Mainly due to him being worn out from work and injuries and now general feeling unwell... I need a good seeing too!!!

@Dollybird89 I sent you private message with mine x

@Babyghirl what lovely doggies 🥰🙌🏻

Oooo god idea on the boxes for the shielding for ivf I never thought of that before @Crazydoglady123

@Gem176 22 minute fillet steak?? Omg I just wouldn't be able to eat steak in pregnancy. Though I think I would do a flash fry then put in the oven for a fatter one instead, you DEF need to eat the selection boxes, they might poison DD.

@MartyMcShy I love a bit of pineapple on pizza too, and olives @Franklydear is anyone else into the TWW with @MartyMcShy? And @Franklydear how you feeling??

@Somatronic that's great news and a Friday too after a shit day whoop whoop!! 🙌🏻🥳let's hope there's no AF too 🤞🏻

@2020mission urgh to both the white FRER and the "normal" but no explanation. I'm guessing it must be normal to progesterone if it was day 21s then? But I hate the way they don't expect you to want an explanation. They don't understand it matters.

@Dollybird89 🍆3 weeks?! You poor thing 😳and is there no more sign of AF? How is your foot btw?

DS has just put peanuts all through his combine harvester onto the floor. FFS. Least it's kept him busy with no screen time & I have myself a sloe gin & low cal tonic. Need to dry my hair after leaving it in a turban at 5.45 but oh well. Rocking Friday! 😋😛

@Minster2012 literally 5 mins after I posted that the doctor called 😅 so I take it back! She didn't say the numbers but said my thyroid and progesterone levels were good. She said I'm being referred to the fertility clinic but it will likely take over 3 months to happen with the backlog. She also confirmed I have been referred to gyno separately which will be with me in a couple of weeks 😬 it's because of my red bleeding cervix at the smear. Even though I only spot before AF and have no bleeding any other time or pain... and my smear result isn't even back yet? I'm regretting having mentioned the spotting tbh as I'm sure it's just cervical erosion which isn't bad to have. I don't want anymore poking at the cervix and stress when I'm TTC ☹️ it's really got me feeling fed up with this all. I wish I was one of those people that just got pregnant within a few months of trying and didn't have to do any of these appointments and stress out!

Also I asked when I should expect my smear result and she said "I didn't do a smear". I said "err you said you were and poked a swab in my cervix and then put it into a container". She then replied "oh... oh I must have you mixed up with someone else. That's right I did do one". Doesn't fill me with confidence!

@Minster2012 how are you feeling? Hopefully things are feeling more positive for you and everyone has got rid of the cold!

I'm slow to the party today ladies 🤦‍♀️ marking my place. Will get a catch up later. Going for a bath now cos feel like I've been kicked in the foof by a horse 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣 so hopefully bath and chill will ease it a little xx

Evening ladies
Happy Friday! And Happy Weekend !!!
Just had delicious steak fajitas for dinner!
Hoping for a full night sleep, woken at half 5 every day this week!

@Minster2012 yay to gin boo to combined peanuts 😂

@2020mission glad the doctor called and the bloods all seem ok! I got my clinic referral quicker than I had expected it to be!
Sorry to hear about the FRER

@Franklydear OH likes olives on a pizza, I'm with DS you cannot beat a good margarita 😍 of the pizza or the drink kind!!

@Somatronic excellent news on the bloods front!! One step closer in the puzzle hopefully 🤞🏼

Seems lots of us are having investigations and tests at the moment, we must be a very expensive VIP bus !!!

@Minster2012 starting to have a sore foof so not hopefully, also as per ds request we had to have subway for dinner, so totally stuff and sleepy now, I have a cunning plan for you, but only thought of it today so start trembling, all I can say

Annoying not to have an answer @2020mission but really good to be referred.

Nothing much planned for this weekend - have morphed into a Scottish rugby fan tonight and trying to impatiently waiting for my paint samples for the kitchen!

@Dollybird89 @2020mission you don't get anything for sending free boxes - I would have told you otherwise I swear 😅. Dolly you pay postage? I don't have to - wonder if it's a location based thing.

@bez91 I call fanny daggers lightning crotch and have gotten it a few times in my tww!

@lucyrp @vil10 thank you ladies ❤️

I'm sure there were lots of others I was meant to reply to but the bus moved 5 pages since I last checked in 😅

1dpo here. Had the day off work and it's OHs birthday so I've had a lovely day with him ☺️

@blackcurrantqueen I don't let him drink margaritas yet, evil mummy 😂

@lucyrp I sent your email into hello fresh as well as @paintfairy and @crazydoglady123

@minster2012 he's just gone up to bed again feeling under the weather ... I'm dying from the lack of 🍆.. still no af. Foots 50/50 .. if I do nothing it's ok but even after taking dog for a walk by this time it's agony walking up the stairs!

@2020mission I didn't do a smear 😂 aaah gotta love it. It's good to check the cervix, you'd be kicking yourself if it was something other than erosion and you'd not had it sorted. 3 months for a referral sounds good to me - time will fly by!

@paintfairy I'm really excited for your IUIs 🤞🤞🤞 as for BD - ours is really boring atm but it's partly due to me feeling self conscious with my extra weight :/

Haven't tried the back door since Seville 2015 😂. OH isn't fussed and although I enjoy it I'm just petrified of potentially subjecting him to nutella dick.

Oh and on the topic of pizzas - I like mine white! Never been a huge fan of a tomato base 😬

@juno231 yea I pay £3 postage so it's 41.99 for 2 for 5 days

@2020mission well it's really good to know the thyroid and the progesterone then, do you think that will make DH do his SA now? But what to the getting you mixed up and not realising on the smear and being poked. Overall I'm more for "testing and knowledge is better" so I'm pro testing but I know it's all wearing and stressful and can often still then lead to no answers like the whole "unexplained infertility" which can often be worse, so I understand, big hugs. I feel a little better thanks, certainly at peace with our decision to postpone a month, I feel like our life is a big rollercoaster & has been a year of ivf/waiting for ivf/house stuff & really busy work & we just need a bit of a month anyway but I'm still gutted after the house sale. I don't think I realised how much I wanted it. Hey Ho.

@Catherinettc kicked in the foof by a horse, honestly I really dislike the sound of this pregnancy malarkey 🤣😂

@blackcurrantqueen we are the BEST EXPENSIVE VIP bus 🙌🏻

@Franklydear im trembling def, is it so cunning you could stick a tail on it and call it a weaaaaaassssseeeeeel???

@larrythelizard I thought you couldn't paint?? Drunken painting you said?

@Juno231 I paid postage too! And "I haven't tried the back door since Seville 2015" comment literally I spat my drink out! I was imagining you saying that in your profile pic on Insta in a really posh voice for some reason and it sounded soooooooo posh!! I don't think you are like that but that's just how my head did it like some film thing "ohhhh dharling We haven't used the BACK door since SEVILLE in 2015 who do you think we are???" Then you say "Nutella dick" in the next sentence 😳😬gotta love this thread 😋🤪you ladies crack me up

@Dollybird89 that's rubbish on both counts!!

@Minster2012 you're laughing now, but I suppose you could, weirdly

@HollieL567 ohh not far from me at all! I'm blackburn x

@Hopeful110 hahaha so true! We're so zen🧖🏽‍♀️

Yep

@Franklydear 🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
